Description:

:-) This might get a little confusing, but bear with me.

I'm proposing a swap in which we all make something for charity. Then we take a photo of it and write a brief description of why we made it and where we gave it. The actual swaps with one another will be email; the photo and the description. However, you must have the item made AND sent/given BEFORE you send your swap. Sound like a lot of pressure? Don't worry. It needn't be a huge thing, and I'm giving you plenty of time to get it done and sent.

Think how happy the recipient will be, to recieve something handmade. When you sive your item, you must attach a small tag saying something about the swap as well. It will be sort of like the crafting groups I've read about, that all make things and put the name of their groups on them. If you decide to make something for Care Wear, there are printable tags on their web site, it'll make it super easy and baby things are small and easy to make. Otherwise just print or write one out.

I hope you have fun with this! I'm making it international, since it's email. I'm sure we can all find a charity we can support in a small way, in whatever country/area you prefer.

Thank you for saying that, and you're welcome!! Depending on how it goes I may make this a recurring thing. I'd appriciate any feedback or ideas anyone may have.

Also, you could put the address of the charity your partner sent to in your feedback comments after it's over. I just thought of that, because I know I will be curious about what everybody did. :-) I'm not making this another rule, just a suggestion.
